Chapter 27 Good wine, good food and good character
The ice car overturned, and the couple was thrown off directly and fell to the ice surface.
Both of them had different degrees of scratches on their faces, which was secondary. What was serious was that Wen's mother had both injured one arm and one leg, and she screamed in pain when she moved.
Dongyang and Zhang Kuang dared not help others easily, and they could only take charge of watching them and the other returned to the village to ask for help.
What was left was Dongyang. She comforted the couple softly and blocked the upper air outlet to block the wind. She had already done everything she could.
After a while, Zhang Kuang brought people over. The villagers were quite calm. Under the command of an old man who taught himself medical skills to show the villagers some emergency and never charged money to find a wooden board to fix the injured arms and legs of the two people, and then moved into the carriage to send them to the county town.
Zhang Kuang went with him, Dongyang and Old Lady Wu couldn't go anywhere to take care of him, so he could only go home and wait for news.
The next day, the village chiefs who went to the county town came back. The news he brought back was that Wen's father and mother had injured their bones. The doctor had already processed the plaster and they were still discussing whether to go home from the county town or come to the village to raise them for a while.
The village chief’s wife took advantage of the fact that Old Mrs. Wu was asleep and said to Dongyang: "Qingqing, your affairs with Teacher Wen have not yet been settled? What should you and Teacher Wen do if they just left like this? Do you have any plans?"
Dongyang shook his head.
The incident happened suddenly, and she had not thought of a solution yet. At present, she could only take one step at a time.
Another day later, when the village chief went to the county town to see Wen’s father and mother, they had already agreed, and they would rather go back to the village to recuperate for a while before going home. In their current situation, they are not suitable for long-distance travel.
If people are taken back to the village, they will definitely not be allowed to deal with them in the school dormitory. So who is the right family to live in? You can’t rub from house to house like Zhang Kuang before. They are not convenient and they always change places.
After hesitating, Dongyang stood up.
Although my small house is dilapidated and only one house can live in, the kang is still big enough. It is impossible to live in ten or eight people, and it is still possible to live in four or five people.
Of course, it is one thing for her to come and live there, and it is another thing for her to come or not. If there are other families in the village who are willing to live there temporarily, there is no way for them to choose another Dongyang.
Fortunately, the villagers were on her side. After she stood up, everyone had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything, leaving only two options for Wen's father and her home and school dormitory.
The school dormitory space is small and a bit cold. Even if Wen’s parents are very proud of their face, they don’t want to feel wronged. After a fierce struggle, they still followed Zhang Kuang’s advice to live in Dongyang’s house.
Before they came to their house, Mrs. Wu was very worried and told Dongyang: "Qingqing, please serve them carefully and act well. Maybe they will agree with you and Xiaoshan."
Dongyang gave Mrs. Wu a reassured smile and said, "Don't worry, oh, even if Xiaoshan and I don't succeed in the future, I will definitely not leave his parents alone when I am his partner. We are all people with heart. Xiaoshan should be nice to you, and I should be kind to his parents."
After the people came, Dongyang did take good care of him.
Zhang Kuang would go back to the school dormitory to live in the evening and come here during the day. He was responsible for taking care of Wen’s father who was unable to move, while Dongyang was mainly responsible for taking care of Mrs. Wu and Wen’s mother who had a broken arm.
The villagers believe that if you lack something, you will be able to replenish it. If you have a fracture, you will definitely get better. The village chief’s wife and some villagers who have a good relationship advised Dongyang to buy some pig bones.
Dongyang was not reluctant to spend the money she should spend. But when she was about to buy it, Mrs. Wu suddenly suggested killing the pig at home.
I raised two pigs at home, one big and the other small, and they all planned to fatten and sell for money. The big one was not small, and originally planned to sell them for a good price.
There is still one month before the Spring Festival. As long as she doesn’t bother to kill pigs and sell pork, she can not only ensure that she can often give Wen’s pig bone soup, but also make more money than selling whole pigs.
In the middle of winter, the meat is not afraid of being bad, and there is no need to be in a hurry to sell it in a day or two. If it really doesn’t work, you can take it to the county town to sell it.
After making up his mind, Dongyang began to slaughter pigs.
The villagers regard slaughtering as a big deal. Anyone who has a good relationship will come to help. After helping, they will stay at the pig-killing family for a meal of pig-killing vegetables before leaving and take some of them to the water and go home. Everyone is happy.
Dongyang was not reluctant to eat pigs and go into the water, and went directly to the village chief to help him. The village chief spread the news that he wanted to kill pigs. When people with good relationships heard about it, they would naturally come over.
It is really lively to kill pigs. Dongyang has never felt it before, so this experience is interesting.
She didn't need to use the work of killing pigs and relieving hair, so she put it next to her and watched. She almost started making pigs and killing vegetables, and the village chief's wife was helping.
Sauerkraut, vermicelli, fat slices, bones, water, and blood sausages, stew them all into a big pot, and before it was stewed, Dongyang was swallowed by greed.
After the stew was done, the helpers had already cleaned up the pigs and cleaned up the yard.
The house is small, and the big table moved by the village chief from his home cannot be put away, so he simply put the table in the yard. What is the weather at a temperature of more than ten or twenty degrees below zero? A meal of pig-killing vegetables can resist the cold.
I took a big basin to serve pig-killing vegetables, put them in the middle of the table, and ate them with staple foods such as steamed buns and hair cakes. It was simply delicious.
There was a little episode during the meal.
It is a habit in the village that when treating guests to dinner, men and women usually have tables. Even if there is only one table, the woman from the owner does not serve the table. She is responsible for serving the guests and can only serve the table when everyone has almost finished eating.
But this time the situation is not very different. Dongyang is the only one who can take charge of the overall situation at home. She puts all the pig-killing vegetables and staple food on the table and does not have to serve anyone. Then she can go to the table and have dinner with everyone.
Zhang Kuang thought the same as hers, so after the person who should take the seat, he went to the neighbor's house to borrow a stool for Dongyang to sit on. As soon as Dongyang sat down, the people at the table looked at her with a strange look, and the village chief's wife winked her.
They all thought she didn't understand the rules, but Dongyang felt that it was unreasonable to place the rules at this moment.
"Eat everyone, let go, don't be polite to anyone." After Dongyang sat down, he said to others quite happily.
She also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to get liquor, and poured a little bit of it for the people present.
Zhang Kuang cooperated very well to pick up food for Wen’s father and mother and then ate it himself, so the others followed him to eat it together.
After eating for a while, Dongyang stood up with a bowl of wine to express his gratitude to the villagers who came to help, and toasted everyone with a bowl of wine.
After drinking the wine, the atmosphere began to become lively, and everyone no longer had to worry about whether she would be on the table.
As for Dongyang, he didn't delay his own meals, and even had a meal and drink, but he didn't leave.
From beginning to end, Dongyang performed very neatly and absolutely stood alone.
